I have a dilemma ..should I feed the birds or not? The logical part of me says no- native birds need to be able to look after themselves, feeding them only encourages the population to breed more than the natural food supply will support. On the other hand, when all the little finches line up outside the kitchen window in the snow and watch me eating my porridge.... Anyway, this handsome fellow - feeding himself , was originally photographed by Steve Attwood. (Thanks for letting me use your photo as a reference).
